Similarly, there's a large contingent of people on the left who get upset every time a mask mandate, vaccine mandate, testing mandate, etc. is rescinded.

Never mind that epidemiologists in every other country in the world (other than China) have decided that it's pointless to try to "fight" Covid with these sorts of measures. Even countries that previously decided that a zero-Covid policy was desirable, like Australia, New Zealand, and Taiwan. The disease has simply become too contagious and now we just have to live with it. But there are still morons on the left who are sheltering at home and get furious when they see somebody at the grocery store who isn't wearing a mask.
